Overview

Canterbury offers a wealth of British history spanning centuries.

Avoid London's heavy traffic. - I will pick you up by car at Bromley South station. We will drive through the scenic Kent countryside for about 90 mins before arriving at beautiful Canterbury. Travelling by car gives you access to other wonderful locations in Kent, many hard to reach by train or crowded coaches. (Please see my profile for more information).

Explore the city’s quaint streets with me, a Kent local, who will point out places of historical interest, including the locally named 'Crooked House’, The Old Weavers' House and Buttermarket.

How about a spot of English cream tea at one of the tea houses?

N.B. This tour excludes tickets to the Cathedral to ensure you have privacy.
Please enquire with us first so we may agree timings and before you purchase tickets online. The Cathedral, or parts of it, is closed on occasion.

Fantastic trip to Canterbury and Leeds Castle
tracycI9095IH, 06-07-2022
We had an absolutely wonderful day with John! He picked us up in his comfortable car and drove us to Leeds Castle. This was interesting and had beautiful grounds, which we toured. We then moved on to Canterbury. John gave us a great tour of the city and took us to the Cathedral, which was fantastic. We enjoyed touring the castle and recommend touring the castle with the volunteer guides. The stories were so interesting. We felt like we learned so much history! Traveling with John was a pleasure and made the day effortless on our parts--much better than a bus tour. I would highly recommend him for any of his tours and would definitely use him again.

Awesome, outstanding, amazing, top-notch!

We honestly cannot think of enough good things to say about John & his tours. We had a wonderful day, in fact John is the best tour guide we have ever had! Not to mention how gorgeous Leeds castle in Kent is, it’s magic. We could have spent the whole day in the medieval town of Canterbury it’s got everything from good food to shopping plus history. John is really easy to be around & he makes the day run so smoothly cause he has thought every detail through for you, so you can just enjoy your day. Would book with John again in a heartbeat!
Combo Tour of Leeds Castle and Canterbury

John is a great tour guide! We started our day by taking the train from Victoria Station to Bromley South station, an easy 20 minute ride using our Oyster cards. John was there waiting with his car around the corner from the station. Leeds Castle was first on our itinerary, and John was a great storyteller, explaining the history as we toured the grounds and the castle. At lunch time, my husband and I ate at the cafe onsite, and did a little more exploring on our own, then met back up with John. John then drove us to Canterbury, and we spent time in the cathedral on our own. John had discovered that we love exploring archaeological sites, and made a last minute recommendation to visit the St. Augustine abbey ruins. It was the perfect ending to our day! We highly recommend John's tours. He was a great communicator, from staying in contact with us as we arranged the tours, logistics with London transportation, to making suggestions on how to make our day even better with a personalized tour itinerary. When we are in London again, his tours will be the first we book!
